Résumé:
The catalogue for an exhibition at MAXXI curated by Pippo Ciorra and Jean-Louis Cohen, this book is an homage to Bruno Zevi, the notable architect, historian, lecturer, critic, politician, and designer.

Résumé:
Focused on post-labor, psychopathology, and plasticity of human mind and body, this book introduces insight, critiques, and propositions in the area of “self-design,” ranging from design and architecture to science, media, history, philosophy, and contemporary art. The field of design has radically expanded. As a practice, design is no longer limited to the world of material objects, but rather extends from carefully crafted individual looks and online identities, to the surrounding galaxies of personal devices, new materials, interfaces, networks, systems, infrastructures, data, chemicals, organisms, and genetic codes.

Résumé:
The publication begins from the Andrea Branzi’s reflection on the relationship civility-design, from the Radical’s research on mass-production civilization to the 'infinite territories', proposing new territories able to interpret and anticipate the new dynamics of society. In particular, if the first chapters review the historical/critical works of Andrea Branzi and of Radical Movement, the last opens a new parenthesis of research, right now never expressed: the issues ignored by Modernity, like life, death, destiny and the sacred: themes which underline the new drama and the fracture between tragedy and normality, between consumerism and death, between theology and technology, between the silence of reason and the voice of an irrational reality.

Résumé:
The making of shadows is an act as old as architecture itself. From the gloom of the medieval hearth through to the masterworks of modernism, shadows have been an essential yet neglected presence in architectural history. "Shadow-Makers" tells for the first time the history of shadows in architecture. It weaves together a rich narrative – combining close readings of significant buildings both ancient and modern with architectural theory and art history – to reveal the key places and moments where shadows shaped architecture in distinctive and dynamic ways. It shows how shadows are used as an architectural instrument of form, composition, and visual effect, while also exploring the deeper cultural context – tracing differing conceptions of their meaning and symbolism, whether as places of refuge, devotion, terror, occult practice, sublime experience or as metaphors of the unconscious.

Résumé:
What do outer space capsules, submarines and office buildings have in common? Each was conceived as a closed system- a self-sustaining physical environment demarcated from its surroundings by a boundary prohibiting the transfer of matter or energy. As partial reconstructions of the world in time and space, closed systems identify and implement the basic materials necessary for the sustenance of life. From the space program to countercultural architectural groups experimenting with autonomous living, ''The Architecture of Closed Worlds'' documents a disciplinary transformation and the rise of a new environmental consciousness.

Résumé:
C’est quelque temps après la célèbre exposition du Museum of Modern Art de New York « Modern Architecture : International Exhibition », qu’a paru en 1932 le livre de Henry-Russell Hitchcock et Philip Johnson "The International Style : Architecture since 1922" qui en constitue le prolongement durable. Il s’agissait de faire connaître au public américain les développements récents de l’avant-garde notamment européenne ; les auteurs avaient pu observer lors de voyages les nouvelles recherches de Alvar Aalto, André Lurçat, E.G.?Asplund, Erich Mendelsohn, Erik Bryggman, Hans Scharoun, J.J.P.?Oud, Josef Albers, Le Corbusier, Marcel Breuer, Mies van der Rohe, Otto Eisler ou Walter Gropius qui le premier avait déjà réuni en 1925 les exemples récents les plus significatifs de l’architecture européenne et nord-américaine. Le projet du livre, s’attachant à illustrer et à défendre l’architecture moderne d’avant-garde, participait d’un mouvement général qui tendait à une codification architecturale.
